This is an article on the grades used in the country of [[Mexico]].
==Surname sort==
The default sort is by squad number, but only 2 players are shown with a number, 20 have no number. This is unusual as no other squad list has more numberless unless the whole squad is numberless.
Mexican schools use a scale from 0 to 10 to measure the students' scores. Since decimal scores are common, a scale from 0 to 100 is often used to remove the decimal point. The grades are:
So I went with the majority and sorted by surname. The club article has no squad numbers shown at all, so this sort method seems to make sense. <font face="verdana">[[User:Slumgum|slυмgυм]]<small> [[User talk:Slumgum|[ ←]][[Special:Contributions/Slumgum|→ ]]]</small></font> 17:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
* 100: Excellent.
* 90: Very good.
* 80: Good.
* 70: Average.
* 60: Passing threshold.
* 0-59: Failed.
Students who fail a subject have the option of taking an extraordinary test (''examen extraordinario'', often shortened to ''extra'') that evaluates the contents of the entire period. Once the test is finished and the score is assessed, this score becomes the entire subject's score, thus giving slacking students a chance to pass their subjects. Those who fail the extraordinary test have 2 more chances to take it; if the last test is failed, the subject is marked as failed and pending, and depending on the school, the student might fail the entire year. As a result, the extraordinary tests often cause a lot of stress among students, because they have to study for the entire period often in a couple of weeks.
Some private schools (particularly in higher levels of education) require a 70 to pass instead of the regular 60.
Grades are often absolute and not class-specific. It may be the case that the top of the class gets a final grade of 89. Curve-adjustment is rare. Grad-level students are usually expected to have grades of 80 or above to graduate. Students in honor roll are usually those with an overall GPA of 90 or more upon graduation, and some private universities will award them a "With Honors" diploma.
